The 2003 Youth Athletics return to Buffalo, site of the 2000 USATF
National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships.

Close to 3,000 athletes were on hand for last
summer's meet in Miami, FL, with the top three teams honored in all 10 age
divisions. More than 200 USATF member clubs signed up for the competition, and
they were not disappointed. The five days in Miami were highlighted by spirited
competition - and camaraderie - at all levels.

This year's competition will prove to be just as exciting
for athletes, coaches, family members and spectators alike! Youth Championships
is more than competition, though, it's also fun! And, regardless of whether
young athletes achieve a personal best, win a medal, or earn a shot at
international competition, they will certainly experience a first-class
competition and have the opportunity to make new friends - and a lifetime of
memories!

This year's meet will also be the final tune-up for Team USA
before they depart for Sherbrooke, Canada, and the July 9-13 IAAF World Youth
Track & Field Championships.
